What classical music do you like?

I first started listening to Beethoveen about 10 years ago, and it can be a very refreshing change, if you're in the mood.

Most of those mentioned here plus Handel and Grieg. Wagner is ok, but he is to classical music what Thimbles is to posts; often reaching a decent point, but taking way, way too long to get there.

I would appreciate the titles of particular compositions, rather than just the names of composers. It makes slogging through all the mediocre stuff much easier.

It's a personal thing what's best, but here's some titles:

Strauss: Also sprach Zaratustra

Shostakovich: Symphony No. 5

Mahler: Symphonies 1 & 2

Tschaikowsky: Anything, but the most popular is the 1812 Ouverture.

Oo oo and I just remembered:

Franz Liszt: Hungarian Rhapsodies

Berlioz: Requiem (with TWO symphony orchestras, in a cathedral, YESS!)

I would appreciate Hawley's pancreas on a spit, but alas, we can't always get what we want, can we?

Excellent. Also try No.2 'Copernican' which comes twinned with Beatus Vir on the Naxos release and could be subtitled 'Music To Go Absolutely Mad To'.

I know, Naxos are a bunch of amateur slipshod danger monkeys, but they get it right once in a while.

Rachmaninov's 3rd is athletic.

Mozart's Requiem engulfs.

Ligeti's Madrigals, Mysteries, Adventures, Songs will also drive you mad, in a gentle way, and is a good introduction to his other works which consist of one symphonic note boring its way into your brain.

Liadov's Baba Yaga is good honest adventure music.

Bach's St Matthew's Passion is worth an afternoon.

Rimsky-Korsakov, who's name sounds like choking severely during Russian oral/anal play offers a damned fine bit of Arabian Nights work in his Scheherazade.

Rafael's Bolero.

That's it.

Most people fall asleep to Classical.

I generate evil thoughts.

Thoughts I don't like talking about.

So I avoid it like a plague.

You don't have to be evil to like classical music, but it helps.

Beethovens 9th allows for the joy of Evil, I guess:

Joy, beautiful spark of the gods,
Daughter of Elysium,
We enter fire imbibed,
Heavenly, thy sanctuary.

Thy magic reunites those
Whom stern custom has parted;
All men will become brothers
Under thy gentle wing.

May he who has had the fortune
To gain a true friend
And he who has won a noble wife
Join in our jubilation!

Yes, even if he calls but one soul
His own in all the world.
But he who has failed in this
Must steal away alone and in tears.

All the world's creatures
Draw joy from nature's breast;
Both the good and the evil
Follow her rose-strewn path.

She gave us kisses and wine
And a friend loyal unto death;
She gave lust for life to the lowliest,
And the Cherub stands before God.

TENOR SOLO AND CHORUS
Joyously, as his suns speed
Through Heaven's glorious order,
Hasten, Brothers, on your way,
Exulting as a knight in victory.

CHORUS

Be embraced, Millions!
This kiss for all the world!
Brothers!, above the starry canopy
A loving father must dwell.

Can you sense the Creator, world?
Seek him above the starry canopy.
Above the stars He must dwell.

- Schiller

I think someone posted this topic recently, and I responded with Schubert's "Trout" quintet.

HOLY SHIT! I'm not alone. But I seriously don't like the company that shares that with me.
I'm a little afraid now.
